The purpose of this study is to explore a new multicultural Christian education paradigm to overcome the discrimination experiences of married immigrant women in Korean churches. Currently many Korean churches where individual churchism is prevalent pursue a educational paradigm which married immigrant women are regarded merely as objects of evangelism and of quantitative growth. Dismissing the individual churchism, Korean churches as Christian educational communities need to provide community-based multicultural Christian education that respects the difference of race, gender, and class. In doing so, I will explore a new multicultural Christian education, which pursues relational, equal, open community beyond multiple discrimination of married immigrant women, based on the four tasks(the descriptive-empirical task, the interpretive task, the normative task, the pragmatic task) of practical theology Richard R. Osmer persists. The first descriptive-empirical task is to explore the situation of discrimination experiences of married immigrant women in Korean churches through in-depth interviews. The second interpretive task is to analyze discrimination experiences of married immigrant women from sociological perspectives based on descriptive-empirical dimension. The third normative task is to offer the social trinity of Jurgen Moltmann that pursues trinitarian community oriented toward relationship, equality, and openness. The fourth pragmatic task is to suggest the practices of a new multicultural Christian education rooted in Moltmann's social trinity in order to overcome married immigrant women's discrimination. Therefore, the new multicultural Christian education paradigm that pursues relationship, equality, and openness will be an alternative to conquer racial, gender, and class discrimination of married immigrant women in Korean churches.
